Call of Duty is bringing a plethora of movement changes in Warzone Season 3. As revealed by developers during COD POD Episode 5, the title's movement system will receive updates to bring it more in line with the original experience. However, back then, they didn't delve deeper into the details and left players speculating about the changes.
Fortunately, the Season 3 patch notes are out, so there's no room for speculation anymore. Read on to learn about all movement changes in Warzone Season 3.
